The realm of Tencendor has faced many threats, but none so horrific as the TimeKeepers—Demons from beyond space and time who have invaded through the Star Gate. For in their passage through the Gate, they destroyed the source of the magic the land depends on. Without magic to fuel their lives, the populace faces a ghastly future, for the TimeKeepers ravage the land as they go, killing or driving mad anyone with whom they come into contact.
Exhausted and sick with despair by the fight to repel the Demons, Faraday tells the StarBorn and the high-powered families of Tencendor the unbearable news. But while just as overwhelmed as stalwart Faraday, the families react violently to her plea to let Drago—destined to be the land's deliverer—redeem himself in their service. They know him to be a traitor and a murderer, and even his own father, Axis SunSoar, would have him killed.
Nevertheless, the land must have a savior. The TimeKeepers seek to re-animate their dismembered kin Qeteb, whose remains have been scattered throughout Tencendor, and in collecting his remains, they will bring blight to Tencendor and darkness to its people. But in his determination to retrieve the one object that can defeat Qeteb—the magical Rainbow Sceptre—Drago will be tested more harshly by his own crippling self-doubt than through any demonic encounter. Jacket art by Luis Royo (604 pp.) 1997.
